3rd party GFSI audits are critical to keeping customers in today’s food manufacturing environment. Don’t wait until your certification auditor shows up to find out you aren’t as prepared as you thought you were. Perform a review of your plant documents and provide a gap analysis to make sure your company is ready for a 3rd party audit such as FSSC 22000 or SQF.
Review and update the Sanitation Program Preventive Control (PC) to satisfy regulatory requirements. In today’s world, there needs to be validation of your Sanitation PC and I can help you develop and write that program. Also, we can provide on-site CIP system evaluation and validation that your CIP systems are working as designed to properly clean and sanitize your equipment.
Have your Food Safety Plan reviewed for compliance to 21 CFR. Particularly the important Environmental Monitoring Program (EMP) and Supplier Verification Programs, among others. And if your operation is new, outdated, or just in need of a total re-write, we can do that too! This can be a cost-effective way to maintain compliance for small operations that staff a Quality Manager but don’t have resources to support a Food Safety Manager too.
Guidance from the discovery to the restart of the operation. I provide hands-on and data-based investigations to determine the source of the problem and then work with your team to develop a corrective and preventive action (CAPA) plan to prevent recurrence. Whether process or pathogen problems, we will work to create the SOP’s needed to solve it.
Having new Managers, Team Leaders or Pasteurizer Operators can leave a large gap in dairy knowledge. Having pasteurizer operators that only know what buttons to push, but don’t understand what is really happening within the process when they do can lead to Regulatory non-compliance and put businesses in jeopardy of a recall. Let Ironclad come in and actually teach the important PMO requirements of Section P and Appendix T, among others, to your team in both classroom setting and on the production floor.
